But once through your owner's manual will usually save a bit of embarassement. It is not a new concept and will virtually eliminate those "near" stupid questions.

Thanks for the brilliant synopsis. No embarrassment here, the owners manual is more than just a little week on some information. I just ordered a set of Service Manuals for detailed information.

Humor is one of my favorite things about this forum, sarcasm is not, and believe me I know he difference. Use the smilies, that's what they're there for if you want to avoid a counter offensive Kernel.

Don't worry Tim. There are no stupid questions ... only stupid people :
You know I couldn't resist.

It looks even better when you have something better than the OEM fogs (Those bright @$$ PIAA 1100X)

They do that to you too.

It kind of surprises them though when I point mine back.

one click up on the Ebrake will also turn off the daytime running lights...unless you have it adjusted very tight this will not engage the Ebrake

If you pull the parking brake lever up to one click before you start the car, this will turn off the DRL. I believe the owners manual calls this parade mode, One click will not be enough to move the parking brake shoes against the rotor.

Default What a great threat this is!

I’ve had my Vette and been on the Forum for over 2 ½ years and learned more about her today than any other single day.

Thanks Grumpy for your link, and Iceburgh and of course thanks to Target Chaser for the original post.

Dan
